About Snapshot Manager for Data Center
Snapshot Manager for Data Center is developed as a micro-services-based application and uses the micro-services model of deployment. It provides a variety of snapshot-based features for NetBackup.
NetBackup interfaces with the Snapshot Manager for Data Center component to discover devices on various storage arrays and for snapshot lifecycle management of these devices. You can connect these devices over Fiber Channel, iSCSI networks (SANs) or as NAS devices using NFS or SMB protocol. When the Snapshot Manager for Data Center is used in an on-premises environment, you can protect the workload data residing on the supported on-premises storage arrays.
Following is the high-level architecture diagram for snapshot management in NetBackup using Snapshot Manager:
